The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders Minor League Baseball team began play in 1989 in Moosic, Pennsylvania, as members of the International League (IL). In their 36-year history, the team's pitchers have thrown seven no-hitters, including one combined no-hitter, placing them eighth in IL history. A no-hit game occurs when a pitcher (or pitchers) allows no hits throughout a game.[1] A perfect game, a much rarer feat, occurs when no batters reach base by a hit or any other means, such as a walk, hit by pitch, or error.[1]
Among the six pitchers who accomplished Scranton's seven no-hitters, Jeremy Cummings stands out as the first RailRiders hurler to throw a complete nine innings of no-hit baseball and the only one to accomplish it as a starter, on September 3, 2006.[2][3] All of Scranton's no-hitters occurred in the International League at the Triple-A level. Five were pitched at their home ballpark, PNC Field, where the team has played since 1989, while the remaining two were recorded in road games. The RailRiders have also been on the losing side of a no-hitter twice both by the Durham Bulls. On April 26, 2014, Mike Montgomery and Brad Boxberger of the Bulls combined to no-hit Scranton/Wilkes-Barre,[4][5][6] and on April 19, 2025, when Joe Boyle, Cole Sulser, Jacob Waguespack combined to no-hit the RailRiders at Durham Bulls Athletic Park.[7]
